At last BB are listening to the fans NORMAL hm8s, no z list ex models most have everyday jobs a lot of Northerners ( ) I predict a great series, hope Im right

[Niamh.]

And an Irish HM who isn't from Dublin Would have liked a few older ones but it's still good

[thisisdanny]

We literally don't know anything about them

[Nicky91]

normally if they are hard working people, then they wouldn't have time to do a show such as BB

i find that weird, or do they get time off from their employers to do this show

[Vanessa]

I like that it's normal people and not all towie types.

The oldest person is 31 or 32 . Where's the diversity in age group.

Majority will be bratty youngsters spitting the dummy out when BB reminds them to follow rules .

We know their jobs, ages, hometowns, voices and a glimpse of their personalities

I don't understand why they picked mostly 20 something year olds .

I bet there's some decent intelligent oldies they've missed a trick on. .

BB 16 was mostly young housemates and that series was the best wasn’t it

[Scream]

I just don't get why they cast such a range of ages for CBB... it's surely easier to cast older people for BBUK

I guess it's more to do with appealing to the younger generation and giving them housemates that they can relate to, since they already have the older demographic covered as those are mainly people who have been fans of the show since the beginning. Younger people are less familiar with the show and therefore need some incentive to get into it, and seeing people closer to their age and more "their type" inspires that incentive. Even still, casting more ordinary people rather than media types is a step in the right direction as those media types generally don't relate to any casual viewer, giving them no incentive to watch.
